Bengaluru restaurant associations threaten to delist from Swiggy and Zomato unless platforms address high commissions, forced discounts, opaque deductions, cancelled-order losses and support issues. A boycott could disrupt local food-delivery supply and pressure platform merchant terms.

Why this matters

The threat escalates Bengaluru restaurants' prior August 15 payout-dispute deadline and boycott warning for Swiggy and Zomato, while Swiggy recently appointed former Myntra CEO Nandita Sinha to lead Instamart.
